<p>Teen Bollywood actress Zaira Wasim, who played the role of young Geeta Phogat in blockbuster 'Dangal', seems to be getting embroiled in controversies quite regularly.</p>
<p>The 16-year-old who was ealier targetted on social media over her meeting with J&amp;K CM Mehbooba Mufti and having to issue a public apology on her Facebook account, has now herself taken on Sports Minister Vijay Goel on micro blogging site.</p>
<p>The Kashmiri teen actor Zaira took objection to the Union Sports Minister comparing her with a painting of a woman in hijab and another caged.</p>
<p>This prompted the 'Dangal' star to rebuff the BJP leader for 'discourteous depiction' and a wrong comparison.</p>
<p><img title="Sports Minister Vijay Goel" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/jul/27goel.jpg" alt="Sports Minister Vijay Goel" width="670" height="447" /><em><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Sports Minister Vijay Goel</strong></span></em></p>
<p>"This painting tells a story similar to Zaira Wasim," Goel wrote on Twitter and also posted the picture of a woman wearing a black hijab covering her face and another nude woman in the foreground in a birdcage.</p>
<p>"Our daughters are breaking the cages to pursue education. More power to our daughters," he wrote and tagged the Kashmiri teenage star.</p>
<p>Zaira then ridiculed Goel's comparison and said the painting was not even remotely relevant to her.</p>
<p>Goel backed down and tried to explain his tweet and insisted that it wasn't his intention to hurt her, and that she had misunderstood what he was saying.</p>
